I am a 39 year old man...and I just sat there. And I cried. And shout-cried. And shout-cried. And cried even more...I've never been happier for not spoiling myself by scrolling through youtube beforehand when I watched the Game Awards just now (I watched them a few hours after they were live).
I just hope they explore this dynamic on the sequel, and make the power ups like upgrades to the existing ones on the first game, but catered to the challenges of next stages.
Omg I totally understand you when it comes to loving niche properties that don't get the love you know they deserve. Especially as it comes to artsier games. I am so, SO glad to see a sequel of Ōkami. I actually made a character in one of my Pathfinder campaigns I play with friends that was heavily inspired by Ōkami Amaterasu.
As far as I’m aware, Okami is the only game in which the music, the art style, the gameplay mechanics, the setting, the characters and the plot exist in near-perfect synchronicity. It is the most well-executed package in the entire history of the videogame medium. The fact that Capcom (perhaps intentionally) failed to market it effectively is one of the worst fumbles the company ever made. The fact that modern Capcom is out here embracing their mistakes in abandoning or neglecting vast swaths of their IP stable by giving them long-deserved sequels is shaping up to be one of the greatest redemption stories ever told.
Astro Bot had an Ammy cameo and a friend of mine joked that’s the most action Ōkami is going to see for a long time. He wasn’t an Ōkami hater, just pessimistic, and who can blame him? Now us gamers won.
No game in the universe is more deserving of a sequel than Okami. It's surreal to see that we live in a timeline in which an almost 20-year-old neglected masterpiece is finally getting its flowers (see what I did there, lol). Anyway, my favorite game of all is getting a sequel at last. It's a dream come true.
I'm 45 and I cried with this announcement! I used to work on a bank and play this every night at home after a working day to relax and get myself ready for next day. Those were stressful times and this game gave me real relief after my working days. I'm genuinely on a mission to buy a PS5 and this game.
I feel in a very similar way Many of my friends know me as “the sole Ōkami 2 believer” and in game events like TGA, Gamescom, etc. I always used to say “Okay, Ōkami 2 is getting revealed in this event”. At some point I kinda lost faith but never completely, Ōkami truly changed my life and has shaped me to who I am today. I received a ton of calls and messages while I was kneeled on the floor ugly crying and trying not to scream too loud because of neighbours. As Geoff said, the stars have aligned for this one. I’m still shedding tears for this and probably still will all the way until I finish it multiple times long after it comes out, it’s just that special Let’s hope for the best and bring our support to this truly amazing project :,)
You really put everything I was thinking into words. No joke, every video game conference whenever Capcom’s logo would show up I would hope. And be crushed. Every. Single. Time. All that hope feels vindicated now.
I campaigned so hard for Amaterasu in smash and a new Okami game, I saw the announcement in 2019 but kind of lost hope after they said they might have went overboard. But to see this being real I haven't cried at a videogame announcement since Sora and this truly feels like my prayers to the sun has been answered
I have been crying on and off since the announcement last night. I just...this game is my comfort game. The one I will always go back to. I also have ADHD and I 100% that game. It is timeless. Geoff was really on the point when he said the stars aligned for this. To know that this game is going to get a proper sequel is just beyond the realm of my dreams. I made my peace with believing that it would never happen. To see so many people CRYING over the announcement is such solidarity to know that this game is still so well loved.
I haven’t been this excited for a game announcement in ten years. I’m still in complete shock even a day later. I played Okami once about six years ago, and this announcement made me tear up. I knew I loved the game, but I didn’t realize how much Okami meant to me until now. On another note, if there’s a new Smash game around the corner, Ammy actually has a shot now.
I was thinking about quitting The Game Awards halfway through for a bit and going back to bed, but I decided to stay and boy am I glad I did. This is the single most emotionally powerfully announcement I have ever seen in my life. I have never cried at a video game announcement before, but the moment I knew it was Ammy my mouth was agape and I started uncontrollably sobbing. I have wanted this for YEARS. Ever since I played the game in 2014. It is one of my all time favs and it can't be understated how much this means to my present self and my past self. Your video said it all!
I read the comments and cry even more. My friends didn't like the game at the time, they were into zelda. I thought I was alone crying while Reset played at the end, and Issun and Ammy... Well looks like I was not alone, at all. Welcome back Okami, as you can see we still love you.
I get it. I was the only one of my friends who ever played Okami and I couldn't articulate why they should in a way that would make them actually play it. Watching the reaction of people to this announcement, seeing how much love their is for Okami, and the realization that I'm not alone has affected me as much as the announcement itself did. We all believe in our Furball.
I'm happy you got this moment, Amalia. It's definitely an amazing surprise that people really deserve. I got my own moment like this when Echoes of Wisdom was announced, so I have an idea of how you feel. So enjoy it! And I look forward to yeeting a copy of this game at your face when it releases 🎁
Wow, so great to see someone else's favourite game of all time is Okami as well. ❤ Plus you love Star Fox Adventures! Me too. I'd love to be able to play it again on the Switch.
I've finished Okami again couple weeks ago, on the Switch this time, and it's been a little more than a decade since I've finished the first time on the PS2, and the ending made me cry even more than the first time. I don't know what it is with that ending that gets me so much, unlike a lot of games that you know when it's trying to make you cry, in Okami it comes so organic, it's such a beautiful game. And the announcement made me cry too, so that makes 3 times now that Okami made me cry 😂 Please Amaterasu, origin of all that is good and mother to us all, let this game be good 🙏
God, it felt so good when you called it Okami 1... I feel like most of us who really loved Okami "felt" it was Okami as soon as the Japanese music and the ink artstyle shows up...
Same! I've played through the first game so many times and completed it 100%. Easily my favourite game if all time. Beyond excited for this announcement!
Honestly anyone saying Okami has too similar gameplay to Twilight Princess has never played Okami. TP remains my favorite Zelda but Okami absolutely stomps on Zelda as a whole. It's a masterpiece and an unbelievably fun and engaging experience Also I fully agree with you about the last major emotional reveal being BK in Smash
I have, no lie, just started playing through Okami for the first time(bought it on Series X) just based on listening to your passion and love for the game! Btw, thank you for your opinion on Windwaker. You are literally the only person I have ever met that loved it too!
I practically broke my throat with how loudly I yelled in my VC. I love the original Okami, but I could never have predicted Okami 2. I'm so excited to see it come back.
Everything youve said resonated with me, the entire experience youve had with the game. Amazing how this game has touched so many of us.. yet not many at the same. Time. We are blessed
Many fans believed that it was never going to happen once Kamiya left Capcom, but when news of Kamiya leaving Platinum Games there was a chance that it may happen. The trailer & reveal was a culmination of every fans dream come true. It's crazy Kamiya is back with Capcom and that an Okami sequel is real.
Ōkamiden is a sequel the same way Chain of Memories is. It is the second game and chronologically takes place after Ōkami, but is referred to as a spin-off or side story. The Den part of Ōkamiden even comes from “Gaiden,” a term that refers to a side-story that isn’t usually treated as a proper sequel.
I too am a fan of Okami, and was ecstatic to see its return after nearly 2 decades!! Crazy to think that's around half of some of our lives lol, but as fans, it made it that much more impactful after Clover Studio was dismantled so many years ago. Love that Kamiya is coming back with Clovers for this project and what it could also mean for some of their other IPs, and that's still in addition to new potential IPs! What I love about this announcement besides how exciting it is for existing fans like us, is that it'll FINALLY get its chance to bring in new fans to Okami too! :)
viewed the "summarized" video and was in it merely "checking" what kind of jokes are there this time ... Capcom made my day ... i actually cried tears .... the MANY trolls who told me to give up, it's not happening .. and i always kept my faith .. this is a victory!
I've been just consuming all the reactions from people. My heart was so bricked off from the possibility that we'd be here and I'm shook. I tear up a little every time I see the bloom used on the flower and the focus on just the beauty of this single flower being important. It just speaks so much to what Okami is about
You absolutely won't regret it! I played this back when it came out in 06, and I haven't shut up about it since 😂 it's one of my favorite games of all times, easily top 2
Glad to still see others who went crazy seeing the announcement. 32 year olds, All these years I've always said Okami was my favourite game of all time. Seeing the announcement trying to cram for my OBGYN exam at 2 am... I was just DONE! I think Okami won't be out before I"m done or in the middle of medical residency... but I'm all for it. I love the game T_T
Okami is the first Rpg I ever completed as a child and my favorite game of all time. I will definitely be preordering it and playing day one, and I'll play it over and over again like I did with the original. I hope that others play it, and understand the beauty of this game like we do.
WW Zelda was my first game and I feel in love with the series since. This game I didn't play but the amount of people I saw that really loved it and said it was one of their favorite games was astounded by it. Glad it's got a sequel now.
This is my first time finding you and just from this video alone, I'm giving you a follow on Twitch and a Sub here cause you earned my respect solely on the mutual love for Okami. I shouted, I cheered, and cried at the announcement and even after I've been riding the high from seeing so many reaction vids of similar jubilation. I was 15 when Okami released and I first played it, and 18 years, 4 copies of the game, one spiritual sequel (Okamiden), and many replays later, I'm on the cusp of turning 34 and this was by far the best early birthday gift ever. Never thought it would happen, but truly, the sun has risen once again
I'm completely overwhelmed. I lost close peers to covid, I had ups and downs with my employment thanks to volatile economy, and I was gradually building symptoms of mild depression. But TGA last night changed everything, this reveal after the 18-year wait reminded me how it feels like to love something again, and made me realized how lucky I was to be alive long enough to see a Okami sequel.
I think this game was the first true sign I had ADHD, from 9 years old in 2007 up until I finished Okamiden in 2011, I was OBSESSED with this world and characters. It was my first true hyperfixation. I've replayed Okami probably 3 times over the last 2 years or so and I'm on my fourth playthrough on this PC right now after the sequel announcement. I don't have the words to express how happy this announcement made me and I don't think the prospect of a true sequel will ever feel real, even when I'm playing it, just because the first one being a single game has been ingrained into my psyche for nearly 20 years, and probably will be 20 years or more since I first played it when the sequel actually comes out.
0:48 I’mma stop you right there chief. FFXIV and Star Fox Adventures?! The juxtaposition threw me for such a loop 😂 Nothing you say after that could suprise me. You are clearly a lover of games with favorites like that. Very impressed.
Okami is easily a top 5 game of all time for me as well, and probably number 1 among games from my childhood. I honestly never thought it would get a sequel because I never thought that it really needed one. That being said, I was watching the Game Awards last night with friends and I did the same exact thing, joked that it was Okami, and IT ACTUALLY WAS!!! The fact that the teaser visuals looked so fucking gorgeous, and that they got Hideki Kamiya back working with Capcom, with a new studio called CLOVERS, it was just such a magical moment for me. This will be my most anticipated game until the day it releases, nothing can surpass it.
I had to weight 8 years for this hand and can’t even begin to imagine what it was like waiting 18 years, I practically just accepted that it would never happen. But to get a sequel to my all time favorite game with the SAME director is just oh my god I’ve been devastated emotionally.
This goes to show that some devs do listen to their surveys! When the capcom survey came out I asked PURELY for an Okami sequel but it looked like Megaman was in the lead! I got so overjoyed with the news 😭 Feels like we're in a new timeline now
I never even know about Okami. Just randomly came across a reaction video to the sequel announcement on my recommended, and decided to watch some more reactions, and ended up buying the game (the Okami HD edition on steam) just now. Sadly only for 5 bucks on steam, since it is on sale right now, so i could not spend the fulls price on it currently, but i will give it a solid shot (despite it being capped at 30fps which normally causes vertigo like symptoms in me) once i am not new years celebration drunk anymore. Looking forwarfc to seeeing if this game will be for me to play, or just enjoy watching others play on youtube.
man i came up with an idea for a mlp fim fan series and eventually turned into a corssover party all over and eventually some of the main character i came up with were born in the okami universe.. one of them is orochi's 2 sons out of 4 children and so much more.... seeing okami get a sequel is beautiful
I have never played Okami before, I only know that people love it but its not popular, and I'm not a very emotional person. But seeing the announcement of Okami sequel in TGA made me tear up a bit. It felt like a missing part has finally returned (idk why). It was a beautiful feeling.
I didn't need a sequel to Okami, that game feels super complete, even though Kamiya recently said the original script was much bigger, but this news has shocked and blown me away. It's like a top 3 game for me. Unfortunately this game is probably going to be 2028 at the earliest, but it's hard to complain about waiting for a thing you never expected to happen. The thing about Okami I wish people talked about more than its art is how funny it is, it's one of the funniest games I've ever played. Okamiden is ok... Yeah, it's ok... kinda.
OkamiDen suffers so unfairly from the technical limitations of the DS. But like the original, it's worth it to power through the early stuff because later chapters are just plain brilliant
I hope we find out who is the father of chibi, also I hope to see ottohimes baby and also Kushiro and Susanos baby and there adopted son❤ I love this game sooooo much! It’s shrinking mallet and sunken ship parts helped me deal with my phobias! This game means the world to me!❤❤❤❤
for every console i own i have a top ten games and on the the PS2 Okami is number 4 on that list (only being beat out by shadow of the colossus, Psychonauts and kingdom hearts). I saw the review of it on X-play back in the day and was instantly drawn in (pun not intended), also saw it was being released the day after my birthday so that was my present to myself. I'm stunned by this announcement though i know we might not get it until 2026 since the only just started production it is worth the wait.
I didn't finished the game when the game came out as I was too young and my English is pretty bad. I only get to Shinshu field and dropped the game. I finally get to finished Okami HD version on Steam when I was in college. I love Okami ever since, and wish the game to have proper sequel. But It never came, and Capcom just keep adding either reference or Okami collabs on their games. When I play Kunitsu-gami, I really enjoy the game, but I wish they made another Okami because Capcom really can If they tried. The vibe of Kunitsu-gami reminds me of Okami so much, That i wish they take another crack at Okami again. And now that Capcom finally greenlit the sequel project with Kamiya back in the fold. My wish f8nally came true. And I hope this Okami sequel will be worth the wait after so long.
Okami (original PS2 version) was truly amazing and one of few 100% games I have FULLY completed…the HD remastered version is also great. Shame that the Wii version is a missed opportunity with the extremely wonky controls 😢
I have 4 copies of okami and 2 copies of okamiden. 1 ps2 2 wii 1 pc that was given to me for my birthday and 1 I got on the switch. I’ve 100%d it multiple times. When I was in my local eb games I came across okamiden and literally jumped up and down in happiness. One of the staff came out of the back room, saw me, smiled and said he liked to see ppl excited about games XD I played it, lent it to a friend (just the cartridge I kept the case) they moved away and I never got that copy back. I found another copy of okamiden just the cartridge at another local game store I passed by on my way to another store I was going towards. I’m never giving it to anyone! If they want to play it they can come to my house XD Okami is my fave game in the world ngl legit lost my shittttttt when I saw the trailer.
8:31 I love this game so much, i've never gotten all the stray beads, but it was because the ports crash when I to beat trial demon gates.😢 That and blockhead grande😅 Banjo-Kazooie, I figured like BK Okami was never coming back😢 😂
Ugly crying gang rise up! I played through this game when i was 9 on the ps2 in my parents room and I. Cant believe it still im still at a loss for words this is real. We feast our time is now!!!❤
I loved okamiden but barely played the original. I tend to get lost easily in modern games that don't have fixed cameras and I prefer portables. I do own it for switch and wii though.
@@obsu I guess the "best" middleground would be some kind of DS emulator... not ideal by a long shot, but you could use some kind of upscaling or filtering to make it seem more towards HD...
"starfox series is niche" Excuse me, WHAT? all those furries I have seen say otherwise, specially with the game that introduced one of the biggest "waifus" but the furry equal, Krystal. So idk what you mean "niche" Also, of the zelda games, I hate toon link. Call it bias, but growing and due to online, the image of toon link brings bad thoughts to mind. But yea Okami is truly a hidden gem of a game. Unique art style I haven't seen elsewhere yet. So glad it finally got a sequel
Star Fox is considered niche due to the popularity of the game series not being as high. There are a lot of people who are fans of the characters but don't necessarily play the games. Nothing wrong with that tbh. I've actually found that there's a lot of people who love the characters from Smash Bros but don't really care to try the games. It's interesting!
@@amaliasolaris weird. I have met many furries online and know family irl who grew up with it and knew it. So strange it's considered "niche" due to the people I hang around. But then again I don't have the largest social circle, so it could be I see limited media
@@amaliasolaris I assumed 18 = half of your life Thus to be perfectly half your life, you multiple that number (which I believe you said you were a young kid, so I guessed older) by 2, hence me thinking you were 36.
I am a 39 year old man...and I just sat there. And I cried. And shout-cried. And shout-cried. And cried even more...I've never been happier for not spoiling myself by scrolling through youtube beforehand when I watched the Game Awards just now (I watched them a few hours after they were live).
Our unknown wait is Over! :''')
I'm 50 and I cried 😅
Man I'm 42 and can't remember last time I cried for happines that much.
Oh man I'm so jealous as I found out first thing this morning by browsing reddit in the bathroom
I am 37, I cried as well🥹🥹🥹
The friendship between Issun and Ammy is just beautiful. I love Okami.
I just hope they explore this dynamic on the sequel, and make the power ups like upgrades to the existing ones on the first game, but catered to the challenges of next stages.
Omg I totally understand you when it comes to loving niche properties that don't get the love you know they deserve. Especially as it comes to artsier games. I am so, SO glad to see a sequel of Ōkami. I actually made a character in one of my Pathfinder campaigns I play with friends that was heavily inspired by Ōkami Amaterasu.
Seeing Okami being shown is like seeing a young pet that you set free in the wilds return to you grown that still remembered all the love you gave it
As far as I’m aware, Okami is the only game in which the music, the art style, the gameplay mechanics, the setting, the characters and the plot exist in near-perfect synchronicity. It is the most well-executed package in the entire history of the videogame medium.

The fact that modern Capcom is out here embracing their mistakes in abandoning or neglecting vast swaths of their IP stable by giving them long-deserved sequels is shaping up to be one of the greatest redemption stories ever told.
Capcom and Sega both reviving old IPs is such a redemption story in itself
Astro Bot had an Ammy cameo and a friend of mine joked that’s the most action Ōkami is going to see for a long time. He wasn’t an Ōkami hater, just pessimistic, and who can blame him? Now us gamers won.

I've always heard good things about Okami!
... And it's not-so-coincidentally $5 on Steam right now.
I think it may be a sign.
You absolutely won't regret it! I played this back when it came out in 06, and I haven't shut up about it since 😂 it's one of my favorite games of all times, easily top 2

WW Zelda was my first game and I feel in love with the series since. This game I didn't play but the amount of people I saw that really loved it and said it was one of their favorite games was astounded by it. Glad it's got a sequel now.
🌸🌺 Real gamers rise up 🌺🌸
This announcement seriously almost made me cry. I love Okami so much
This is my first time finding you and just from this video alone, I'm giving you a follow on Twitch and a Sub here cause you earned my respect solely on the mutual love for Okami. I shouted, I cheered, and cried at the announcement and even after I've been riding the high from seeing so many reaction vids of similar jubilation. I was 15 when Okami released and I first played it, and 18 years, 4 copies of the game, one spiritual sequel (Okamiden), and many replays later, I'm on the cusp of turning 34 and this was by far the best early birthday gift ever. Never thought it would happen, but truly, the sun has risen once again
This is one of my most wanted games, and yeah, I cried too.
I'm completely overwhelmed. I lost close peers to covid, I had ups and downs with my employment thanks to volatile economy, and I was gradually building symptoms of mild depression. But TGA last night changed everything, this reveal after the 18-year wait reminded me how it feels like to love something again, and made me realized how lucky I was to be alive long enough to see a Okami sequel.
Celestial Plain here we come!!!
I think this game was the first true sign I had ADHD, from 9 years old in 2007 up until I finished Okamiden in 2011, I was OBSESSED with this world and characters. It was my first true hyperfixation. I've replayed Okami probably 3 times over the last 2 years or so and I'm on my fourth playthrough on this PC right now after the sequel announcement. I don't have the words to express how happy this announcement made me and I don't think the prospect of a true sequel will ever feel real, even when I'm playing it, just because the first one being a single game has been ingrained into my psyche for nearly 20 years, and probably will be 20 years or more since I first played it when the sequel actually comes out.
0:48 I’mma stop you right there chief. FFXIV and Star Fox Adventures?! The juxtaposition threw me for such a loop 😂 Nothing you say after that could suprise me. You are clearly a lover of games with favorites like that. Very impressed.
Okami is easily a top 5 game of all time for me as well, and probably number 1 among games from my childhood. I honestly never thought it would get a sequel because I never thought that it really needed one. That being said, I was watching the Game Awards last night with friends and I did the same exact thing, joked that it was Okami, and IT ACTUALLY WAS!!! The fact that the teaser visuals looked so fucking gorgeous, and that they got Hideki Kamiya back working with Capcom, with a new studio called CLOVERS, it was just such a magical moment for me. This will be my most anticipated game until the day it releases, nothing can surpass it.
It feels like the world is healing, just as Ammy would want it 🥹
My immediate thought when I heard that music sting at the start was Okami. And i was doubting myself until Rising Sun hit
I had to weight 8 years for this hand and can’t even begin to imagine what it was like waiting 18 years, I practically just accepted that it would never happen.
But to get a sequel to my all time favorite game with the SAME director is just oh my god I’ve been devastated emotionally.
🎵 Can we get much higher? 🎵
Now I'm wondering if theres a trend cause everyone I've talked to that loves Okami loves Wind Waker.
This goes to show that some devs do listen to their surveys! When the capcom survey came out I asked PURELY for an Okami sequel but it looked like Megaman was in the lead! I got so overjoyed with the news 😭 Feels like we're in a new timeline now
As someone who's been waiting for an Otogi 3 announcement for almost 20 years, I am so happy for you Okami fans. Enjoy this moment!
I never even know about Okami. Just randomly came across a reaction video to the sequel announcement on my recommended, and decided to watch some more reactions, and ended up buying the game (the Okami HD edition on steam) just now. Sadly only for 5 bucks on steam, since it is on sale right now, so i could not spend the fulls price on it currently, but i will give it a solid shot (despite it being capped at 30fps which normally causes vertigo like symptoms in me) once i am not new years celebration drunk anymore. Looking forwarfc to seeeing if this game will be for me to play, or just enjoy watching others play on youtube.
man i came up with an idea for a mlp fim fan series and eventually turned into a corssover party all over and eventually some of the main character i came up with were born in the okami universe.. one of them is orochi's 2 sons out of 4 children and so much more.... seeing okami get a sequel is beautiful
The HD version is only $5 on Steam right now. Now’s your chance 😏
We are so back ammy
I'm glad I lived long enough to see this.
Girl give us a lore dive if you haven't already. I'm subbing because I want to see you talk about it more.
Who remembers that Twitter post with kamiya talking about an okami sequel a few years ago?!?
I have never played Okami before, I only know that people love it but its not popular, and I'm not a very emotional person. But seeing the announcement of Okami sequel in TGA made me tear up a bit. It felt like a missing part has finally returned (idk why). It was a beautiful feeling.
that... is the best way to describe it. and i agree fully.
I felt the same way when half life alyx got announced. At that point we waited 10 years for a continuation of the cliffhanger ending of episode 2.
I know we know nothing about it yet, but I truly believe that if all goes well this game could be one of the best games ever made.
totally possible!
I didn't need a sequel to Okami, that game feels super complete, even though Kamiya recently said the original script was much bigger, but this news has shocked and blown me away. It's like a top 3 game for me. Unfortunately this game is probably going to be 2028 at the earliest, but it's hard to complain about waiting for a thing you never expected to happen. The thing about Okami I wish people talked about more than its art is how funny it is, it's one of the funniest games I've ever played.
Okamiden is ok... Yeah, it's ok... kinda.
OkamiDen suffers so unfairly from the technical limitations of the DS. But like the original, it's worth it to power through the early stuff because later chapters are just plain brilliant
I hope we find out who is the father of chibi, also I hope to see ottohimes baby and also Kushiro and Susanos baby and there adopted son❤ I love this game sooooo much! It’s shrinking mallet and sunken ship parts helped me deal with my phobias! This game means the world to me!❤❤❤❤
for every console i own i have a top ten games and on the the PS2 Okami is number 4 on that list (only being beat out by shadow of the colossus, Psychonauts and kingdom hearts). I saw the review of it on X-play back in the day and was instantly drawn in (pun not intended), also saw it was being released the day after my birthday so that was my present to myself. I'm stunned by this announcement though i know we might not get it until 2026 since the only just started production it is worth the wait.
I didn't finished the game when the game came out as I was too young and my English is pretty bad. I only get to Shinshu field and dropped the game.
I finally get to finished Okami HD version on Steam when I was in college. I love Okami ever since, and wish the game to have proper sequel. But It never came, and Capcom just keep adding either reference or Okami collabs on their games. When I play Kunitsu-gami, I really enjoy the game, but I wish they made another Okami because Capcom really can If they tried. The vibe of Kunitsu-gami reminds me of Okami so much, That i wish they take another crack at Okami again.
And now that Capcom finally greenlit the sequel project with Kamiya back in the fold. My wish f8nally came true. And I hope this Okami sequel will be worth the wait after so long.
yayaya, we so back, boios
Okami (original PS2 version) was truly amazing and one of few 100% games I have FULLY completed…the HD remastered version is also great. Shame that the Wii version is a missed opportunity with the extremely wonky controls 😢
My top 3
1. Xenogears
2. Okami
3. Tales of Vesperia
Also Okami is $5 on steam right now
Tales of Vesperia is SO goated, I ADORE that game!
I have 4 copies of okami and 2 copies of okamiden. 1 ps2 2 wii 1 pc that was given to me for my birthday and 1 I got on the switch. I’ve 100%d it multiple times.
When I was in my local eb games I came across okamiden and literally jumped up and down in happiness. One of the staff came out of the back room, saw me, smiled and said he liked to see ppl excited about games XD
I played it, lent it to a friend (just the cartridge I kept the case) they moved away and I never got that copy back. I found another copy of okamiden just the cartridge at another local game store I passed by on my way to another store I was going towards.
I’m never giving it to anyone! If they want to play it they can come to my house XD
Okami is my fave game in the world ngl legit lost my shittttttt when I saw the trailer.
I just want chibiturasu to make an appearance or at least have a reference
8:31 I love this game so much, i've never gotten all the stray beads, but it was because the ports crash when I to beat trial demon gates.😢 That and blockhead grande😅
Banjo-Kazooie, I figured like BK Okami was never coming back😢 😂
Ugly crying gang rise up! I played through this game when i was 9 on the ps2 in my parents room and I. Cant believe it still im still at a loss for words this is real. We feast our time is now!!!❤
This stole the show for me. Nothing else matters.
never sympathized with a video so much
I played okami-den, and I can say that although in many aspects it is a downgrade compared to Okami, it is still a very beautiful and fun game
My immediate reaction was the KSI YES YES YES! but without the NO NO NO!
I loved okamiden but barely played the original. I tend to get lost easily in modern games that don't have fixed cameras and I prefer portables. I do own it for switch and wii though.
I also played it in 2006. But i like the wii version best.
Could Okamiden get an HD version?
I don't even know if that's possible, the entire game is built from the ground up to be playable on the Nintendo DS with all it's quirks and gimmicks.
@@obsu I guess the "best" middleground would be some kind of DS emulator... not ideal by a long shot, but you could use some kind of upscaling or filtering to make it seem more towards HD...
@KhaziirEverflight tried playing it on an emulator a few days ago, problem is the gameplay itself is too limited
Same ... Same
"starfox series is niche"
Excuse me, WHAT? all those furries I have seen say otherwise, specially with the game that introduced one of the biggest "waifus" but the furry equal, Krystal. So idk what you mean "niche"
Also, of the zelda games, I hate toon link. Call it bias, but growing and due to online, the image of toon link brings bad thoughts to mind.
But yea Okami is truly a hidden gem of a game. Unique art style I haven't seen elsewhere yet.
So glad it finally got a sequel
Also, so from what I understand, you are 36? You sound a lot younger than what I would assume is 36
Nope, not 36! I am a bit younger than that!
Star Fox is considered niche due to the popularity of the game series not being as high. There are a lot of people who are fans of the characters but don't necessarily play the games. Nothing wrong with that tbh. I've actually found that there's a lot of people who love the characters from Smash Bros but don't really care to try the games. It's interesting!
@@amaliasolaris weird. I have met many furries online and know family irl who grew up with it and knew it. So strange it's considered "niche" due to the people I hang around. But then again I don't have the largest social circle, so it could be I see limited media
@@amaliasolaris I assumed 18 = half of your life
Thus to be perfectly half your life, you multiple that number (which I believe you said you were a young kid, so I guessed older) by 2, hence me thinking you were 36.
BEST GAME EVER 😭😭🩷🩷 i cried . Legit cried.
You said EVERYTHING I feel. Like, you’re actually in my head.
I 💯 stand with you. I am beyond excited for the Okami sequel. 🥹
Let’s
Fucking
Go
